"The problem with Karski, and this is just for starters
(believe me), is that his "eyewitness" report on the Belzec
camp is demented fantasy. Competent Holocaust scholars avoid
him like the plague. Raul Hilberg, author of The
Destruction of the European Jews, and widely considered the
dean of Holocaust scholars, agrees with the revisionists on
this one. 'I would not put him [Karski] in a
footnote,' Hilberg told the Jerusalem Post. Why would
Hilberg dismiss [Michael] Berenbaum's "hero?"
Let us count the ways. In his Story of
a Secret State Karski wrote that he entered Belzec as
a spy disguised in an Estonian uniform, that Estonians
guarded the camp, that the inmates were Warsaw Ghetto Jews,
and that he saw the camp prisoner population being removed
on a train. Hilberg says it's all false! Hilberg is right --
and we know that's only the tip of the Karski iceberg. If
Berenbaum wants a little background on Professor Emeritus
Jan Karski, I'll be glad to supply it..."
